Disclaimer: The writers expressly denounce the
assassination of political figures and intend the fictional
Assassination scenario in the "20/20" play to discourage
any such actions. During these politically polarized times,
we have noticed a trend on left and right to direct animus
toward individual figures and to imagine that violence
against individuals would solve shared political woes,
when the truth is that such strategies or tactics would only
cause a strong reaction of repressive laws and human
rights abuses, rather than constructive political change.
Out of concern for human life and for our collective
power, we oppose true-life assassinations and present
them here merely in the context of fiction to channel those
impulses harmlessly in a sort of catharsis for those
daydreaming about such possibilities.
